DIVA

DIVA was founded by Stanley Kay, one-time manager and relief drummer for Buddy Rich. In 1990 he heard Sherrie play, was impressed, and decided to create a band of liked-minded, masterful players. In 1992 the search was on, and through a nationwide audition the foundation of DIVA was poured... The DIVA Jazz Orchestra is turning 30! We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all DIVA band members past, present, and future; our creative, innovative composers and arrangers; our many business advocates, and our enthusiastic fans and friends from around the world. We're us, because of you. We were founded in June of 1992 and had our first performance on March 30th, 1993 at New York University.
